Except for the nodes on a standing wave, what is the frequency f of the points executing simple harmonic motion?

Sagot :

Take into account that in a standing wave, the frequency f of the points executing simple harmonic motion, is simply a multiple of the fundamental harmonic fo, that is:

f = n·fo

where n is an integer and fo is the first harmonic or fundamental.

fo is given by the length L of a string, in the following way:

fo = v/λ = v/(L/2) = 2v/L

becasue in the fundamental harmonic, the length of th string coincides with one hal of the wavelength of the wave.
